We didn't know what we could do Though we all saw what was happening We could do nothing
The realm is safe the realm is strong Though we all saw it was crumbling We will carry on ---
They didn't know what they should say While the actors were stumbling They said nothing
The realm is safe the realm is strong Though the outside is invading We won't be moving
And the music plays on
Past the faceless critics' fingertips I swam against the current To keep from drowning
The tide of judgement's flooding in With its sad faceless courage We will say nothing
And the music plays on Silently immersed in my own heart And we all wish them well Holding onto pride when nothing is left --- Did she die a noble death oh yes Did she die of a broken heart Often she did Won't they allow me to just move on
The realm is safe the realm is strong We'll send our greetings from the storm The realm is safe the realm is strong We will remain to carry on
And the music plays on Silently immersed in my own heart And we all wish them well Holding onto pride when nothing is left
